ALMOST THERE!

Well, it’s been a heckuva ride and a great launch for our little film, Bridegroom. People are shaking their heads at the phenomenal support we have received. Incredibly, we have achieved our initial goal of 300 thousand! You’ve been wonderful, awe-inspiring and tenacious, but please don’t stop now.

We are humbled and grateful for all that you’ve already contributed. But we still need your help. The 300 thousand we requested was always a bare minimum. If we keep going, we can do more filming on location, obtain better music, and insure that this film is shown in theaters all over the world.

We promise you that any money we receive beyond our minimum 300 thousand dollar budget will go directly to the enhancement, marketing and distribution of this film. Thank you again, all of you out there, for standing up against bigotry and joining our crusade to bring human rights to all!

Shane, I am the Associate Editor of a website called "10,000 Couples" (www.10thousandcouples.com). We ran a piece (plug!) about "BRIDEGROOM" in our current issue (still live, now w/ update about the goal attained). I believe our publisher, Delena, sent a link your way via your FB profile? Today "10,000 Couples" was featured on Rainbow Radio (https://www.facebook.com/rainbowradio). After the interview, I told the host about you and this project. He would like to have you on his show. He asked me to be in touch with you. Please feel free to contact me at mann.heidi@gmail.com. Thanks, and again, congratulations!

YAY!!!! We did it!!!! Mostly you, of course, Shane & Linda, but I like to think I helped a little bit too because around July 2 or 3, the project was 40% funded and started spreading the word like mad!!!! I gather some of my friends -- and LOTS of OTHER people -- did too!! I can't WAIT to see this film!!

All the best!

You made it! This is great! I hope more people donate and you guys surpass the goal even more and have great success with the film. And I hope that this may open some peoples eyes to what is going on out there.

Awesome news!! I am delighted that I have been a part of this amazing project!! Best regards & love from Durban - South Africa where we have marriage equality but still a lot of discrimination of GLBTI persons! - Ferny Vermonti & family xx

How absolutely marvellous!!! Well done to you and your team on reaching this goal! I feel proud to be a part of this process, as I'm sure every backer does. Here's wishing you everything of the best with the production process. Love and best regards from Cape Town, South Africa, Rob

I am so happy you got funded. I was lucky enough to go to my couisn and her wife's wedding a few years ago. Its been legal here in Canada for years. Im catholic and fully suppot gay marriage. I fully believe that God is about love and joy and happiness for everyone. I have been to a few wedding of.people who love each other very much but I have never seen two people more overwhelmingly in love and full of peace and joy as my cousin and her wife. No one ever. It sickens me that the reason for this doc exists at all. Nothing more tragic. Im glad you are making this and am so glad I sqeezed $11 out.of my budget to Donte

Let me know if there is anything I could do here in NYC!!! I am so excited for this to happen. Tom and Shane are in my thoughts every day for the last two weeks now. My fiancé and I have been following and spreading the word as much as we can.

Thank you for allowing us to take part in such an amazing movement. I can't express how proud I am to be able to support this documentary. Shane, your story is truly touching and inspiring and I can't thank you enough for sharing it with us. I hope this film helps to open many eyes. Best wishes.
